So what exactly is Skitter Smack again?
So we have any rough ideas of the power increase of Misty Explosion, Terrain Pulse, etc when their conditions are met?For everyone asking what the movepool changes are, we have a thread for that here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...ist-of-movepool-changes.3656151/#post-8280026
And this has already been posted in this thread, but for people asking what the new moves are, here they are:

Thanks to all of the community members who datamined and compiled all of this information!
From the Moveset topic:Edit: Flip Turn is 60 BP, potentially giving Technician users huge damage and momentum generation. Are there any users of this move with Technician?
TLDR: no, and it's only water types + mew anyway

What about Triple Axel? It looks like it gets Technician boosts for the first, second, and possibly third hits, so that would be 30 BP+ 60 BP+ 90/80 BP (depending on whether the last hit is +20 bp or doubled)
And Hitmontop and Cincinno get it iirc
Hitmontop and Minccino are Technician users with the move

In Pokemon, it's explicitly a kicking attack.an axel is a spin not a kick
There does not seem to be any. But when you complete the Diglett quests, you can obtain the Alola forms of the Pokemon as well as an Alola starter that matches your Galar starter's type. Or if you transferred from Home, a man in the Battle Tower can provide the Galar Marking, at the cost of the entire moves deletion.Has there been any word on evolving normal pokemon into Alolan forms? I would like to breed for an good alolan Marrowak, but I know you couldn't evolve a Pikachu into an alolan raichu. Is this the same, as well as for Alolan Eggescutor?
Not that it actually matters for anything other than being able to easily tell which game a mon came from on the status screen, but the mark is an entirely new mark (looks like the "physical move" symbol) that is placed next to the mon's region of origin. It doesn't replace the region of origin mark with the Galar mark.There does not seem to be any.

I did read about the Galarian mark. So if I wanted to have a good stat one and nature, I have to breed in Sun or moon, and transfer?There does not seem to be any.

You could always just use caps and mints.I did read about the Galarian mark. So if I wanted to have a good stat one and nature, I have to breed in Sun or moon, and transfer?
thats probably the best way honestly. I guess I'll do that for the gift marrowak i get.You could always just use caps and mints.
I wonder if we are prey to a mistranslation, just like Fishious Rend is a biting move even though the english name and description say nothing about it.In Pokemon, it's explicitly a kicking attack.
its also possible with limited animation, like fire punch being a kick for cinderaceI wonder if we are prey to a mistranslation, just like Fishious Rend is a biting move even though the english name and description say nothing about it.
doesnt matter really I dont think your skarm would be using any offensive moves bessides press but if you go for brave bird then impish is coolFOr Skarm, since it has body press you still still want a defense boosting nature, but do you still want bold, or a SpA lowering one instead?
